Neuroticism - What are the 10 Neurotic Needs

The Ten Neurotic Needs: This video is all about the psychology of neuroticism - what it is, where it comes from, and how we can successfully resolve it, and the anxiety it creates. It also discusses Karen Horney's "Theory of Neurotic Needs" and how to determine if we have high neuroticism and neurotic needs of our own, and how to manage neurosis. I hope you find it both healing and helpful!

Definition of Neurotic Need by the APA (American Psychological Association): "in psychoanalytic theory, an excessive drive or demand that may arise out of the strategies individuals use to defend themselves against basic anxiety. Karen D. Horney enumerated 10 neurotic needs: for affection and approval, for a partner to take over one’s life, for restriction of one’s life, for power, for exploitation of others, for prestige, for admiration, for achievement, for self-sufficiency and independence, and for perfection. When an individual’s personality is dominated by a few neurotic needs, he or she may exhibit a neurotic trend."

The ten needs
1. Affection/approval
2. Partner who solves our problems
3. Restrict our life within narrow borders.
4. Need for power.
5. Need for prestige.
6. Need to exploit others. Looking to gain from others.
7. Need for personal admiration.
8. Need for personal achievement.
9. Need for perfection.
10. Need for independence and self sufficiency. Not reliant on anyone.

“Identifying the why” the root cause is sometimes a difficult journey but so important to move the right step forward.

The need for personal achievement is definitely one i felt close to my entire life. I'm just now seeing I'd like to smile and laugh more than i sweat and bleed. This is great stuff to go over!!!

You rang the bell several times for me. Life has been an evolution thru these different traits at different times. I suppose we have different needs at different periods of our aging process, and with the aging process we work things out in time. Number 10 speaks to me loudly these days. I've always been an entertainer and enjoyed it immensely. The early days I loved the attention. The middle period I had learned to make a living with it and still enjoyed it, but more as a craft than the attention. The last period I no longer enjoyed the pressure of needing to please the audience, tho I still had much affection for anyone who would take their time and come see us and there in came the pressure of pleasing them. I finally retired from the road at 65 and thought I had finished my music career, but when you love what you do it's hard to give it up. At 72 I realized what youtube had become and began working on my music channel. Lo and behold, it took off. Once again I was making music and videos but without the pressure of having to bring the audience what they had come for. People who like it can watch, those who don't don't have to. So now I spend much wonderful time alone, tho never lonely, creating the music vids for youtube with no pressure. But yes, you rang the bell on almost every point!

These factors are all very interesting! I am glad you are going through all of them. It's good to know that we can actually address the issues of neuroticism! It seems like the neuroticism is the result of feeling anxiety so it makes us want to fix it somehow by focusing on external, when the truth is that we need to look inside ourselves and fix the root of the issue thank you for this xo

Neuroticism, very interesting topic! I used to have anxiety really bad. What a great and powerful share! Thanks, Sis! Hugs

[lovesurfbunny]

So the first 3 most of us use them ok. Sixth is so bad, the need to manipulate others very mean, eight is good, I agree with you and I have been doing this, as long as it's not in excess some are very useful, the need to make our work better is very important. Listen and loved all and give you big thumbs up!

[zestygirl]
